Stepping into her apartment, Alva was greeted by a view where Arana was sitting on the sofa while watching television. In his hand, there were vanilla-flavored setoples of pastries, and a glass of warm white milk served on the table.
Feeling that someone was coming, Arana turned her head and greeted Alva with a bright smile. "Welcome, baby! Howwasyourday? Is today good?"
Alva walked over to Arana. While removing his tie, the man landed a light kiss on Arana's slightly flushed cheek. He then sat down next to Arana. "Today I'm really busy at the company. There are many documents to sign. Good thing it's all good."
Arana gave a smile. "Thank you then."
"But baby, I'm sorry for not being able to prepare bath water for you. I had a little trouble walking without the help of Rosa— personal caretaker Arana, because sister Rosa is home."
"Don't apologize, dear. You just need to focus on your healing, home issues, leave it to me."
Arana furrowed her brows. "Give it to home cleaning services, you mean?"
Alva chuckled softly. "Hehe, yes."
"By the way, did Brother Rosa treat you well? She was the caretaker who took care of me when I was sick." Said Alva busting Arana turned and parrotted. "really?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"You should call him brother, too. Rosa's good, she helped me a lot. I feel like I'm a hassle." Arana's words made Alva laugh while stroking her hair.
"Don't worry. Rosa is very happy to help. Her dream was to be useful to others. Caring for and maintaining the health of his patients is what makes Sis Rosa proud of her dreams and her work."
Arana nodded her head. "It's just worth it."
"Oh yes, tomorrow I want to take you for a walk. Just breathing air. You want?"
Hearing the offer from Alva about the streets, Arana of course will not refuse. After several days confined to the hospital and apartment, Arana needs time to just enjoy the environment. Arana needs sunlight for her skin. The girl turned her head and nodded her head enthusiastically.
"You! I want!"
"Then tomorrow I'll have Erlan pick you up." The word Alva made Arana nod her head like a chicken pecking at rice.
...***...
Arana glanced at Erlan who was standing beside her like a guard. Sitting in his wheelchair that morning, he was in a park near Alva's company. This morning, Erlan had already picked her up, but once she reached Alva's company, the man was still holding a meeting with his colleague whom Erlan said was from Japan.
So, he ended up here with Erlan who had been silent since not saying a word.
Arana silently scratched her nape and several times glanced at Erlan back. A little confusion to dilute this awkward atmosphere with what kind of behavior. Or actually, Arana felt that only she felt awkward. Not to mention, some of the use of the road appeared several times to glance at him curiously. Perhaps in their minds, they were questioning who he and Erlan were.
Is he like a cripple who needs a bodyguard?
Besides, isn't that guy tired of standing up all that time?
"Can't you sit down? You made people look weird in here." Arana.
Erlan glanced at him for a moment before sitting himself on the bench next to him. The manic cannot be seen the crowded streets, when Aranapun did the same thing.
"I don't hate you."
I don't know what wind, but Erlan suddenly said that. Arana who heard it did not overreact. But actually the calmness on his face was due to the confusion and mistrust he felt. Arana thinks Erlan was hating Alana from the beginning. But it didn't?
"Then do you like me?" Arana's question made Erlan turn to her and scrunch her forehead.
Realizing that the question is wrong, Arana rectifies the question. "I mean, likes are not in romantic terms. I mean, if you don't hate me, do you like me?"
Erlan slightly tilted her head and shook her head. "Not really. Nothing from you can make people like you. You're picky, haughty, stupid and ugly. Like a thug."
Arana's face was distorted.
Although Arana knows that Erlan described Alana, but somehow Arana also feels upset because Alana is her twin sister. Are not their faces the same? Does that mean he's ugly?
"Hey, do you think you're so handsome?" Arana wants to mention that she is the best graduate in her High School, but stops when she remembers that she and Alana are different.
Although twins, Arana knows a little bit that they are indeed a little different. Because she is used to living a pampered life, Alana never tried to get something with her hard work. The girl is lazy to learn and does not like to do troublesome things, in contrast to Arana who since childhood has been diligent in learning in conjunction with her activities are dense.
So when Arana can reach the best position at school, Alana is different because she does not like to learn.
Erlan shifted her manic to the corner of her eye. "Of course I'm handsome. I'm smart too."
"Hee!" Arana let out a voice expressing her disbelief. "No, we need another input!"
He reached into his cell phone and contacted someone. The videocall call was immediately connected. Asa Amber's face there, clearly emblazoned. Arana and Amber phones are equally good, so the signal and call quality of videocall can be clear both image and sound. The girl across the street was lying on a bed, wearing a maroon-colored tanktop with a face mask.
That's Amber's custom.
[Hey, Nana! What's contacting me? || Hey, Nana! What's the matter calling me?] Ask Amber.
"Amber, I need your opinion. Answer honestly, okay? || Amber, I need your opinion. Answer honestly, ya~" Along with her words, Arana tilted her phone so that it faced Erlan's face. "Is this guy handsome?"
Erlan stared at Arana's phone screen, looking at the girl across there slightly distancing her phone before bringing it closer to her face. Erlan smiled proudly. His face displayed a smile that to him was full of charm. Usually if he smiled like that, women would be fascinated by him. Amber examined it for five seconds, before giving an assessment.
[Well, his face isn't bad || Well, his face isn't bad.]
"Huh?" Erlan. Not bad, he said?
Arana shifted her phone. "Is he handsome? || Is he handsome?"
Erlan's ears were buzzing, and his head seemed to be hit by a boulder because of Amber's words. [His face is average, Na. To be honest, I'm being honest~ I think his face is quite handsome. But, but to be honest, his face is so scary. Like pedophiles || Her face is average, Na. Honestly yes, this is me honestly yaa~ His face is quite handsome in my opinion. But, but honestly, his face was meant to be creepy. Like pedophiles.]
Cracks!
If Arana could hear someone's inner voice, it was certain that she would be shocked to hear a severe crack coming from Erlan's heart and mentality. The man put on a blank face. But if noticed, his face was funny because of the strange expression he displayed.
"Pedo—pedophile?!" Beo Erlan could not help but be shocked.
Seeing Erlan's reaction, Arana bit her lower lip, trying to hold back a smile. But the longer, he could not help but laugh until he laughed. "Geez Amber! You're being honest, look! Erlan was speechless!"
Amber across the street scratched her head. [You asked my opinion. Hehe, I'm sorry, uncle || Do you ask my opinion. Hehe, sorry yes, om.]
Cracks!
Double kill's!
He was actually summoned with an om call?!
"Haha!"
Genuine laughter. He really enjoyed his time. Erlan glanced at Arana. It turned out that chatting directly with him was not too bad. Arana is different from Alana. Maybe Arana is just pretending to be Alana, trying to imitate the best Alana's nature and attitude to make her fooled. If it wasn't for Alva, maybe forever he would have thought the girl in front of him was Alana who he didn't like.
Well, it feels like babysitting a sister.
As the laughter of chatter between them continued along with Amber, they did not notice a pair of beads looking at them from a building. The pink lipstick-coated lips formed a straight line, before a gentle mutter came out of her lips.
"The labourer failed to make him flawed as it turned out."
He turned around, leaving behind a shadow with a cold murmur. "There's still plenty of time. I will definitely destroy you."
